Just trying it now, still doesn't work the waterfalls bit

.

The bonus of the mission before Pogahn Passages seems to be broken 2. I just hate doing a mission multiple times with no progression :S. I want to get protector asap.

Well it seems we all agree on the fact that the pb comes from the "waterfall advice"... Anet devs please ?

Sir Mad · Nov 01, 2006, 01:05 PM // 13:05

After more experiments, I think I can say there is no credit missing for 1 advice, it's just you can get 4.

Let me explain: I followed all the suggestions and got 3/4.

- I know if you don't kill the runners (or if they run far enough to make the other corsairs pop) you don't get a point, so it does count.

- After having had 3 points, I went back and attacked the guys in the corsair camp you're supposed to avoid: I lost one point, so it does count.

- I went back to the waterfall and killed the patrol, I lost one point: it does count.

- (other trip) I went back and killed the monk boss: I lost one point, so it counts as well.

Conclusion: all 4 suggestions apparently count, but there is a cap at 3 advices. BUG.

i just killed the patrol after i got 3 other points and did NOT lose a point. so the waterfall is bugged.

the waterfall is just fine, the first one is the bugged one as it doesnt end regardless what u' do.
try to do the mission without triggering the first suggestion. u trigger the waterfall and u get the point for the waterfall, completing the mission at 3/4.
now do the mission again this time triggering the first suggestion. everything is just fine, u hide in the waterfall, slow the 2 runners etc etc, and u end at 3/4 just as be4.

we spent few hours in there trying everything possible sneak / path etc. the first one is completed (when u fail it u receive the 0/4 message warning a second time) but u are not credited the point.

need a fix for this bonus or we'd never complete it

This is very frustrating being at 19/20 Protector of Elona, and being able to easily beat the mission. Guess I gotta wait until they fix it. I suppose I'll work on my Elonian Cartographer title.

Xunlai Master · Nov 02, 2006, 05:33 AM // 05:33

lol at least im not the only one stuck at 19/20 thx to moddok crevice..

But even if you follow his instructions (bonus) it does not update properly. I followed all 4 of his instructions, but the counter said "you have followed 2 of 4 Dunkoro's suggestions". WTF? I want master's reward. NOW!!1

When Anet, When are you gonna fix this. I think gayle plays nf to much to notice us

Rera · Nov 03, 2006, 09:34 AM // 09:34

It's fixed.

Hou Lifu · Nov 06, 2006, 11:43 PM // 23:43

No, it's still not fixed :-/

Rera · Nov 06, 2006, 11:59 PM // 23:59

I and several people I know have the Protector of Elona title, so clearly this bonus is working.

Wolydarg · Nov 07, 2006, 01:31 AM // 01:31

Just got masters with it, think it's fixed

AlienFromBeyond · Nov 07, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

It is most definitely fixed.

Shrouded Waffle · Nov 07, 2006, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Seems this is not true for all.... I have read and understand the mission very well.

NO MASTERS, still am not getting 1 of the completions for the first turn around at the sand. Get an update at the falls for only 1 of 4. After allowing guard to pass = nothing until you move to the 3rd suggestion which gave 2 of 4.

Have done mission about 9 times with guildies and glad I finally read about the bugginess after spending majority of last two nights repeating this mission for masters. Glad ANET knows about it, but knowing and doing anything are quite diff things... at least there's been an attempt since a few report completion.

Character trying was tyrian born

Drop of Fear · Nov 10, 2006, 10:40 AM // 10:40

knowing and doing anything? wth. this mission was bugged and it has been fixed few early this week.
it's fine now, there's no fix needed. it's how is meant to be. the first suggestion works perfectly. just kill the first group of mandragoras then run further till dunkoro starts talking. run back without aggroing the mandragora patrol coming back to u.
mastered this myself and helped few friends mastering it. never had a problem

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 10, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

The masters works perfectly i did it myslef only yesterday, simply kill the mangdragors in the 1st, dont go near the path near teh waterfall, instead go slighty more right until theres another little pathway normally with some more mangdragors patroling, dont go up here however, Dunkoro will say not to take this path, then continue on back to the waterfall path, avoid the patrol as suggested then head right as soon as the pathway opens up. You should get the 3/4 suggestions message befire u approach the runners. Then take out both runners Fast preferable using a cripple or slow down Hex on them to make it easier. Try to take out the left most one first (before he gets into the large squad of insects) then take out teh other one who if uve slowed down also shouldnt be far away. You have to take these two out very fast since they dont have far to run before they spawn the patrols. finish the mission as norm and there u are one masters in the pocket. (hope that helps)

Saphatorael · Nov 10, 2006, 11:06 AM // 11:06

I had a weird bug when doing this with my Tyrian monk... did the waterfall thing, got 1/4... we snuck to the east to avoid the runners, got 3/4... we went a bit south to kill some bug bosses, we killed 'em and went back to 2/4?
Then we cleared the entire bug area north of the runners, then came back to kill the runners and the lot of kournans that were 'suddenly' there (even though we sneaked)... we killed both, after they ran towards some bug mobs (that we also killed)... then we triggered the cutscene, killed the last bad 'guys', and ended up with 2/4 suggestions followed, thus giving me the basic reward :s

EDIT: it was a couple of days ago... i'll go try it again now to see if it's fixed
